This volume published as a tribute to Professorr Pierre du Bois, who died suddenly in June 2007, brings together the contributions of his colleagues, friends and former PhD students, on the theme of the construction of Europe, one of his favourite themes. It sheds light on five aspects of the European question by different authors: origins of the European idea (Bruno Arcidiacono, Jean-François Bergier, Lubor Jilek, Alfonso Mattera), Europe and its builders (André Rezler, Benedikt Shoenborn, Georges-Henri Soutou), the European Union and its institutions (Marie-Thérèse Bitsch, Victor-Yves Chebali, Gilles Grin), the European Union and the world (Franz Blankart, Mohammad-Reza Djalili and Thierry Kellner, Jussi Hanhimäki), and finally the enlargement of the European Union (Adrian Ivan, André Liebich). The book opens with a biobibliographical essay on Pierre du Bois (Basil Germond and François Jequier). This rich and diverse collection highlights a multidisciplinary examination of the European question, where history, political science, economy, law and philosophy cannot be separated.
